It also made realize how new most of our fan base is (myself included, I was only into college basketball until the move to Brooklyn made going to games for less than half my rent possible). I'm glad the Toronto fans set the bar so high, I was at game 6 and the and responded. These are the playoff series that build diehard fan bases, especially because Toronto is gonna be back and better next year. I'm just so pumped to be a part of the growing support and budding rivalries.

I was in Toronto the weekend of the first game of the series, so I was outside watching at the Maple Leafs Square. That was an awesome experience that I'm going to cherish for a long, long time. Great people, great fan base, and an exciting team filled with a lot of young talent.

Wishing nothing but the best for the team, and hoping they can build on this series for years to come.

He's just a really easy target to pick on. He tries to act hard in many of his songs, but the dude literally played a character named wheel chair jimmy for a kids television show, at a pretty young age. Songs like started at the bottom now we here, bruh please. You were a kids TV star, who grew up in a nice area of Toronto. I know it's just a story of the character of Drake that he is creating, but still come on man.

Then a lot of his songs are him crying about a girl leaving him. Don't get me wrong, I do love those kind of songs, Do For Love is one of my favorite hip hop songs of all time, but damn Drake, you need to pull it together bud. Plus he starts the most random beefs over stupid shit. The dude brought a lint roller to a basketball game, and was straight up rolling himself during the game. It's not uncommon for people who are seen in the media often to have a lint roller with them, but they don't usually sit on international television rolling themselves.

Lastly, he is Canadian and grew up in a nice neighborhood, and doesn't have the struggle story of most hip hop artist and rappers. Which is perfectly fine in my opinion, just because you weren't born dirt poor and had to sell crack, doesn't mean you can't be a rapper or artist. However, some of his songs he tries to act hard, or talk about struggling, and that shit is a bit lame. Plus all the "Drake the type of nigga" jokes, make it an easy karma grab on here and /r/hiphopheads

Seriously! When he was outside the arc and just started to be doubled, I was like "oh fuck, look for the open man NOW Lowry!". Then he got inside the arc and the triple team came I was like "Yes! pass out for the probably open 3!"... but he just kept trucking on, getting battered by 3 players... and just got blocked to hell.

Tough way to lose at the end but it's hard to be that disappointed as a Raptors fan. After the 6-12 start, who would have predicted they'd win their division and take the most expensive team in the league to a game 7?

I feel so bad for Lowry, he looked crushed. I didn't really have a horse in this race and I'm happy that Pierce is getting another playoff run, but damn the Raps played so hard. I have to respect that.

Not necessarily create his own shot type, just someone who can knock down jumpers or move well without the ball. Salmons was cold for the series and Ross was equally bad. I hope moving forward Ross can be our answer at this spot.

No coincidence that Lowry trying to do too much on a play was the downfall.

He spent way too much time with head down, barreling towards the rim and taking off then having to throw up a brick or dish it out to a dangerous spot. He has been great all season but he was trying to do too much tonight and be the hero.
